Charging out of the second half with rousing energy and edge changed everything, both for Friday night's game and in validating Hubert Davis' retooling of the roster after the Tar Heels barely made last year's NCAA tournament. By the end, the 25th-ranked Tar Heels had rolled to an 87-74 win against the 19th-ranked Jayhawks behind contributions from a star freshman, a transfer-portal big man and a returning senior who took on the toughest defensive assignment against Kansas star freshman Darryn Peterson.

Having lost 10 straight road games dating back to last season, the Cardinal makes one last road trip this season to face the Tar Heels. Redshirt freshman Elijah Brown (47 of 79 passing for 492 yards, three TDs and three INTs in six games) makes his second collegiate start in place of Ben Gulbranson, whose 10 interceptions are the second-most of any FBS QB. No team in FBS has fewer rushing yards as a team since the start of Week 4 than Stanford (324).

Per both Kyed and Callahan, Patriots scouting personnel can still request film for specific Tar Heels players and can call UNC staff for more information about certain prospects. "Why would we let them in our home after how he's been treated since he left? We will help our players, but being treated fairly is a two-way street," a UNC athletic source told the Herald, via text," Kyed and Callahan wrote.
